As an Elementary Teacher at Bissonet Plaza Elementary School in the Jefferson Parish Public School District (located in Louisiana), Paula Naugle specializes in math, science, and social studies while being an active member in the DEN community specifically using social media. Recently, for a day during ISTE13 Naugle took over the DEN Twitter account and previously posted for the Louisiana Leadership Council. She is consistently active in #DENchats and even participated as a moderator along with attending both Virtual conferences and Discovery Webinars. She is currently at the top of the Leader Board for the DEN Spring Training event. Last year, Naugle won a PL-DEN DENny award. In addition to keeping her own blog, she regularly posts on the DEN site. Naugle also plans on attending the DENSI this summer in Vermont.

Naugle lives and breathes the DEN motto “Connect with your most valuable resource…eachother,” fitting perfectly with her passion to share information, ideas, and experiences. Naugle uses social media sites as one of her main platforms to share information using Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Giigo, Quora, along with others. Becoming a DEN STAR in 2009, Naugle integrated DE products DE Streaming, DE Science Techbook, and DE Science Elementary into her classroom curriculum.
